I picked up a fairbanks morse switcher and a atlas 2-8-2 mikado but I dunno what I'm going to run them on as one is too new and the steamer I think might be too big I'll have to check.
I've been messing with the design, and I picked up some 2x4 foam. I think i might build a wood frame for the foam as a base and use that instead because the 2x3 is so heavy that with all the scenery on it, it might take 2 people to move lol.
I've been talking with people from a couple train forums and thinking on the idea for awhile I've come up with a couple plans that I like.
2x3 to start (actualy 23.5x36.5 *shrugs*) all the curve in the hill run is so I could squeeze 4ft of track into a 3ft area so I didnt have a 10% grade lol
and the 2x4. same concept just stretched. with a passing track inside the mountain.
I kinda forgot to extend the hill so just imagine the track goes all the way off.
